A long hard day, out of debt

Well, the lovely sound of rain is hitting my window and I've got a bit of time before I arrive at snooze land.

Today's been a long, but good day. Very focused unlike the last 2 days really. I've been struggling with a few days of semi-burnout where I kind of could feel a burn out coming but I wasn't to the point I couldn't focus. I think, however, I felt like I was stuck in a rut. I did notice that I was bored. Not the I don't know what to do now kind of bored but the not this again kind of bored :(.

I've also been thinking of changing the way I organize my workloads. I've been using the lovely Pomdoro Technique for my work and it sure works wonders to prevent me from being too drained at one go, and it also keeps me getting stuff done. However, I've noticed that sometimes when my to do list has like 10 items on it, I just feel overwhelmed and defeated, only to realize those 10 items could have been finished in 10 minutes (example item: "Check if I have any wet clothes leftover in my bag" which really takes a minute). So the new mission is to organize my tasks based on the estimated time it'll take me to do. Hopefully knowing that each task should take no longer than 2 minutes will keep me burning through the items even if there are like 50 of them!

And speaking of timing, it's that time again for Legend Fighting Championship! Yep! Very excited about that (excited and nervous as usual) and check this out, it's on 24th! And guess what's 25th! Wahoo my birthday!
But on a serious note, birthdays aren't my thing. Like I literally don't celebrate them and don't really see the need to celebrate them really :P I mean I get it, I was born on that day, but so what? So it marks another milestone in my life... and? I guess since I'm a milestone/log freak things like birthdays aren't really anything special to me.... hmm.

On top of that, I'm finally doing it, I'm doing my own one-man English stand up comedy show so that's going down in the log book of accomplishments too! I've always wanted to do it and well why not now? I was upset with myself that I didn't do it last year, but then again, I think I'm way better prepared this year.

Woah! The sky just lit the hell up?! WTF?!

Well these last 10 days have been madness really and I'm expecting the next 10 days to be no saner. What I do expect is to be way more calm after these next 10 days because the weather will have cooled down and that means another accomplishment to add -- "Didn't turn on the air-conditioner ever this whole year!" Ahaha, the stupid things I do to myself to feel like I've accomplished something :P
